The hollow-core slab sawing machine you can trust
The production of hollow core hollow core floor slabs requires precise and reliable equipment. One of the key steps in the production process is cutting. This is where it is particularly important to eliminate any mistakes, because even the smallest deviation can affect the strength and geometry of the finished product. The slab cutting saw is not just an auxiliary tool, but a strategically important element of the entire production cycle.
Why it is important to use professional equipment
A floor slab is a large reinforced concrete product with internal voids. These voids give the structure its lightness, but at the same time require care when cutting. Too rough a cut, incorrect feed or unstable depths can lead to cracks or deformation. Therefore, universal or household equipment is not suitable here. For reinforced concrete products, cutting floor slabs, the saw must provide accuracy, stability and the ability to fine-tune to the parameters of each batch of products.
Modern equipment allows you to set the depth, angle, feed rate, as well as the mode of automatic or semi-automatic operation. This is especially important in conditions of continuous production, where any slowdown affects the overall rhythm of the line.
Specific saw models for specific applications, floor slab saws
TDM Engineering has developed a range of saws designed specifically for reinforced concrete products. They are adapted to different production conditions and allow precise cutting at all stages:
- UL-series – used for longitudinal cutting of slabs on fresh concrete.
- L-series – automatic saw, suitable for cross-cutting slabs up to 320 mm in height.
- LP-series – more powerful version, can cut slabs up to 600 mm.
- N-series – semi-automatic saw with the ability to cut at any angle.
-
S and SU-series – automatic saws, also with the possibility of angle cutting and maximum height up to 600 mm.
Each model offers high cutting accuracy and stable operation under heavy loads. This means that there is no need to stop for readjustment or correction of defects in production. A slab saw does not just have to be reliable – it has to work consistently under all conditions.
Practical effect of use
The right saw affects everything: speed of order fulfillment, dimensional stability, material savings. Automated processes reduce the human factor and minimize errors. In addition, modern controls make operation easier: all the operator has to do is select the mode and set the parameters. The floor slab saw offers tangible benefits within the first few months of use. It’s not just convenience – it contributes to overall production efficiency, cost savings and improved quality.
When it comes to series production of reinforced concrete products, there is no room for experimentation. Every operation has to be calibrated and the equipment has to be practiced. Floor slabs require precision, which is why a slab saw for reinforced concrete products must be selected without compromise. It’s an investment that is returned in consistency, speed and quality.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a slab slab saw used for in reinforced concrete production?
To accurately and safely cut hollow core slabs to specified parameters – length, angle, depth, while preserving the geometry and internal structure of the product.
- What models of saws does TDM Engineering offer?
UL, L, LP, LP, N, S and SU – for longitudinal and transverse cutting of slabs with height from 320 to 600 mm, with the possibility of angle cutting and automatic feed.
- What is the difference between an automatic saw and a semi-automatic saw?
An automatic saw is fully system controlled and requires minimal operator input. Semi-automatic requires manual start-up or setting of parameters before cutting.
- Can this equipment be used for fresh concrete?
Yes, the UL Series is designed specifically for slab slitting on fresh concrete immediately after molding.
- What are the benefits of automating the cutting process?
Reduced scrap, increased speed, consistent quality, time and resource savings on machine readjustment.
- How do I choose the right saw model?
Focus on the height of the boards, the production volume, the need for angle cutting and the degree of automation. The models differ in these parameters.
- How difficult is it to maintain the equipment?
TDM saws are designed for industrial applications, with reliable mechanics and easy to understand controls. Routine maintenance is simple and does not require special training.
